Corporate Helicopters is a dealer for the portable Iridium based Satellite Tracking System, spidertracks. spidertracks can track your aircraft, vehicle or vessel in real-time and then display it and your flight path via online maps. See our functional example, below!
With spidertracks, you control who can see your aircraft, and give them access to real time location and flight path data, via the Internet or the ispiderViewer iPhone app.
The spidertracks unit can be paired with a keypad device that allows two-way communication between Pilot and Operations base and also can track altitude, speed and direction, as well as send alerts via text or email and stores the recorded tracking data for later view.
The spidertracks unit ($1995) and keypad ($495) are available at a total of $2490. Mention our website and receive a 10% discount off your order!
